I've recently released version 0.3.1 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.

The main changes in this release are as follows:

• Fixed #132: Added documentation to help with relative interpreter paths. Thanks   to Paul Kienzle for the patch.

• Fixed #134: Allowed specifying a different target Python version when generating   scripts.

• Fixed #135: Exposed the enquote_executable function previously implemented   as an internal function.

• Addressed #138: Improved metadata support for newer metadata versions. Thanks to   James Tocknell for the patch.

• Changed the output of flags in entry point definitions in wheels. Thanks to   frostming (明希) for the patch.

• Stopped writing JSON metadata. Only old-style metadata is written now.

A more detailed change log is available at [2].

Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]
